New U25B Models – At Risk
Rapido is willing to produce GN U25B ‘Phase IV’ locomotive models in HO scale, including the extraordinary prototype details described in the earlier post below. Two road numbers are planned, in both DC and DCC.
This model has never been produced in HO scale, but will ONLY be available if 100 reservations are made at the GNRHS store (click the link for details). We’re currently well short of that. So if interested, please act now!
